NEW YORK — Oprah Winfrey wants to give an undiscovered talent a chance to follow in her footsteps on her new cable network.
The talk-show host is teaming up with reality- TV producer Mark Burnett on a show searching for the next big TV personality. “Your Own Show: Oprah’s Search for the Next TV Star” will air on the Oprah Winfrey Network beginning in January, the same month of OWN’s launch.
Aspiring hosts can upload videos to under categories such as traditional talk show, cooking, health and wellness, and interior design. Fans can watch and vote on submitted videos. In-person casting calls are happening this month in Atlanta, Dallas and Orange County, Calif. The Associated Press
